Honor vnet_rewrite_data_t data_bytes == 0
Avoid the cache miss consequences of spraying [functionally harmless]
junk into un-prefetched rewrite space. As things stand, several tunnel
encap rewrites set rewrite data_bytes = 0, and take a performance hit
due to unwanted speculative copying.
Should be performance-neutral in speed-path cases, which won't execute
the added check.
